Bass went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts while making all three of his PATs in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

Bass was perfect in Week 1, making field-goal tries from 46, 34 and 33 yards in the victory. The Bills figure to be one of the league's more prolific offenses again in 2026, and as a result, Bass will have a relatively safe floor from a fantasy perspective.

Armstrong was reinstated from his one-game suspension Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Armstrong was suspended for one game to open the 2026 campaign after violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, so he was unavailable for Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Eagles. Armstrong will likely return to his starting role at strong-side linebacker in Week 2 versus the Cowboys.

Smith caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Vikings.

Jordan Love wasn't shy about going to his tight ends, as Smith and Tucker Kraft combined for five catches and 115 yards. The bulk of Smith's production came on a 43-yard reception midway through the third quarter on which he was left wide open. Kraft is the clear No. 1 tight end in Green Bay, but Smith logged 32 of 68 offensive snaps Sunday and should chip in as a pass catcher most weeks. With that said, Smith is unlikely to be a trustworthy fantasy asset unless Kraft is sidelined at some point.

All saw 20 offensive snaps but didn't get a target during Sunday's 33-27 win over the Buccaneers.

The 2024 fourth-round pick operated as the third tight end behind Drew Sample (41 snaps) and Mike Gesicki (21 snaps). All made 20 catches as a rookie two years ago before missing the 2025 campaign with a right knee injury. He doesn't seem like much of a factor in the passing game for the time being.

Jennings did not bring in his lone target during the Vikings' 39-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Kyler Murray's first pass attempt of the game was to Jennings, resulting in a Keisean Nixon interception that led to a 59-yard field goal from Trey Smack six plays later. Jennings didn't see another pass the rest of the way, even after Carson Wentz took over as the Vikings' QB for Murray after the latter left the game due to a concussion. Jennings' 31 snaps on offense were third most among wide receivers behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but the lack of offensive output from Jennings was disappointing given the solid production he had with the 49ers in 2024 and 2025. He'll look for better results in the Vikings' Week 2 clash Sept. 20 against a Bears defense that gave up 361 passing yards to Bryce Young in a 59-37 Week 1 win.

TeSlaa failed to haul in his only target during Detroit's overtime win over the Saints on Sunday.

TeSlaa played 52 of the team's 77 offensive snaps but was still the only Lions player who didn't record any receptions, among those who were targeted. The 2025 third-round pick had a promising rookie campaign, catching 16 passes for 239 yards and six touchdowns despite limited usage, but he is coming off a disappointing training camp. TeSlaa will look to improve upon his performance during the Week 2 matchup against the Bills.

Saylors made one special-teams tackle and returned two kickoffs for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win against the Saints.

Saylors saw no offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, taking all 24 of his reps with the special-teams unit. Saylors made one tackle on kick coverage and had two short returns in the game, taking on most of the grunt work as the Lions' offense burned bright without him.

Vaki turned two carries into seven yards while also reeling in his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win against New Orleans.

Vaki operated as the Lions' No. 2 option running back in Week 1 behind starter Jahmyr Gibbs, but he didn't really have much of an impact over his 22 offensive snaps. The running back also logged 24 snaps on special teams in the victory. Gibbs will likely continue to dominate the touches in the backfield while Isiah Pacheco (back) is on injured reserve, leaving Vaki as an unappealing fantasy option.

Sample caught all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-27 win versus the Buccaneers.

Sample was on the field for 42 of Cincinnati's 64 offensive snaps in Week 1, easily pacing Bengals tight ends in playing time. He has never been a truly explosive pass-catching threat, but a sustained high catch rate and regular playing time should keep him in the mix in a crowded passing attack.

Fitzgerald made four of his five PATs and converted his sole field-goal attempt in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

Fitzgerald's 44-yard field goal was his only challenge of the night, and the kicker was up to it. Where the 26-year-old shrunk was in his consistency, with an 80 percent PAT conversion rate that pales in comparison to opposing kicker Cairo Santos' flawless night, despite the latter being asked to kick eight PATs.
